According to a Korean Central News Agency article "Northern Limit Line rejected" of 2 August 2002[1] archive copy at the Wayback Machine "the U.S. government distributed [this map] to the participants in the UN conference on maritime law held in the U.S. in 1980". The map is also published in paper by Kim, Jung-Gun (Spring-Summer 1985). "Reflections on the attitude of North Korea toward the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS III Treaty)".
